THE BRITISH SANITARY INSTITUTE AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION.

ABSTRACT

The Sanitary Institute of Great Britain has taken a new departure in deciding to publish a journal of its proceedings instead of an annual volume of Transactions, following in this the example set by the British and the American Medical Associations. The journal is to be, in the first instance, a quarterly. Its first part, April, 1894, has just been issued.
